Iranian President Hassan Rouhani once again made his presence known on Twitter after an agreement was reached over Iran's nuclear program Sunday, retweeting the State Department and British Foreign Secretary William Hague before adding his own commentary.

The account, @HassanRouhani, has not been verified by Twitter but is believed to be the legitimate, English account of the Iranian leader and has more than 135,000 followers.

Late Saturday night, Rouhani retweeted the State Department's announcement on the agreement: "Agreement in Geneva: first step makes world safer. More work now. -JK #IranTalks"

Shortly after, he retweeted Hague's account twice, including, "Tonight's agreement with #Iran good for the whole world, including Middle Eastern countries and the people of Iran themselves #IranTalks"

Rouhani then tweeted out a slew of his own comments, including one stating Iran's enrichment program is for peaceful purposes: "#IranTalks progressed in such a way that rights of Iranian nation to peaceful #nuclear energy & enrichment were acknowledged by world powers"

Throughout the talks in Geneva, Rouhani frequently tweeted with the hashtag #IranTalks, while discussing the ongoing negotiations.

Rouhani frequently retweets the verified account of Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, who played a role in the Iranian nuclear talks.

In fact, he seems to be an equal-opportunity retweeter, sharing tweets from British Prime Minister David Cameron, journalists Christiane Amanpour and Anderson Cooper, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and the Council on Foreign Relations, among others.

It's not the first time the Iranian leader's tweets have gained attention.

In October, he responded to a question by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who asked: "@HassanRouhani Good evening, President. Are citizens of Iran able to read your tweets?"

That exchange came just a few days after his historic phone conversation with President Obama, where Rouhani tweeted, and then quickly deleted, several comments about the call.

In an interview with Business Insider, a White House official seemed to confirm that the Twitter account was authentic, saying it provided an accurate readout of the conversation.

"We did watch President Rouhani's Twitter feed," the senior administration official told Business Insider in late September. "Frankly, we've watched him use social media to communicate over the last several weeks." The official said it was a "welcome development."
